“Their processing capability is limited due to the restrictions of the sanguis imperium, but the addition of a single active mind should be capable of temporarily interceding and allowing for Synchronism to occur. Do you wish to proceed?”

I really do like the 3 worlds narrative BUT when it's something this crazy I DONT WANNA JUST BEING READING ABOUT HIM IN LUCEUM 😫

“You know that’s not how wild animals work, right? You can’t just help them when they’re young and then they’re your friend forever.”

Noo she's wrong!! They would remember.

“So would you describe yourself as … forbidden?” She says the last in a seductive whisper. Eyes wide.
Neither of us can hold back snickers as Eidhin glowers. “You are wrong.”
“You are oblivious,” Aequa corrects him.
Eidhin’s scowl deepens, but as he sees me nodding firmly, he makes a small, rude gesture in our direction. “Very well. I will … tour her.”


Eidhin!! Absolutely the wrong words 😂😂

“You do not have to be less, Leathfhear,” he says softly. “Not unless you wish to be.”

“I forgive you. I do. But … some mistakes can’t be undone.” I don’t say it with blame. It’s an explanation. An apology. A regret. I understand everything she’s done, wouldn’t have done it differently myself. But it doesn’t change what happened. Nothing can. My voice cracks. “I could have saved him, Emissa.”

This hurts anyways.

“The boy you …” Breath short. “The boy you tortured. Didn’t he tell you that he wasn’t Catenicus?”
“No. Admitted he … was.”
Oh, gods. Callidus. Gods-damned, courageous idiot.

Even in death Callidus is still best boy 😭😭❤️

Is the version of me in Res relaxing somewhere with Emissa, right now? Laughing with Callidus and Eidhin? Or did he somehow manage to win the Iudicium and find a peaceful escape to the embassy in Jatiere?


Ohhh Vis baby 😭

She finally looks across at me with such dismay, such helplessness, that in that instant I truly, deeply know—if I didn’t before—that I can trust her.
“And she is an excellent choice.” I manage to say it without wavering, without betraying shock or anger or protest.

Vis is a better person than me i swear.

Yeah i just remembered what Marcellus did. Fuck that guy!

We all fumble in the dark for ways to say that one man is better than another, and the Hierarchy fumble more than most. Their formulas and measurements make sense in the broad strokes; in the building of infrastructure, in the arrangement of an empire, averages are an acceptable metric. But men are still men. Strong and flawed and unpredictable, day to day...
